The Art of Up (Disney) Hardcover – Illustrated, May 13, 2009

This book is a wonderful coffee table item. It is full of information on how the movie UP! Was created. It is an easy read with high quality images and detailed pages that will keep your interest. For anyone with an appreciation for Pixar films and the animation in them, this book will blow your mind. The intense research completed to establish realistic yet cartoonish settings in the film is fascinating. I have throughly enjoyed this book.

I love Up. It is a fantastic movie. This book was a great addition to the coffee table. It is really well done. I would purchase it again if mine were to get ruined.

Beautiful Book!I have my fair share of Disney Pixar Art books, and while I love them all, this one is one of my favorites.It's divided into classic Movie Art Book sections, but all the art is wonderful! The character design sketches for Mr. Fredrickson on the inside cover are just endearing, and I particularly like that aspect of the book.While a lot of the art is digital now, much of it was also brilliant gouache, which is lovely.I recommend this for any collector of art books, or even if you're just an avid fan of the movie, because it really is a wonderful companion to the film itself.

This book is gorgeous and a must have for any Up fan! Tells a lovely story of how the movie was made and the meaningful details that were put into it 💕

Despite some critical reviews here (which I can understand their specific complaints, entirely), I find this book to be very gratifying. As an artist working in the field of illustration and animation (see my books, REJECTS, SKETCH INFECTUS - [...]), I find this book to be hitting the peak of "art-of animation" books. There is just enough to keep me interested and inspired, and if you've seen the film, it's a great supplement. Pixar keeps the art genuine and inspired, and this book shows exactly where their mindset is.Bravo.

Really cool book. Lots of great information and tons of pictures.

We have several books in this series, but the Up one is my favorite. It’s a great gift for any Disney nerd. Love how the authors share how this story was born- you feel like you were there.

The movie itself is powerfully odd and heartfelt, but the art book goes super deep and personal with how Pixar conceptualized and created it. A very inspiring read with loads of colorful art to observe.
